拍品專文

The present work is "characteristic of [Milton Avery's] early production, in gestural, seemingly spontaneous, brushstrokes...Along with brash shades of blue, pink, and green, these brushstrokes imbue the work with energy as well as a sense of underlying anxiety. As he did in his self-portraits and his portraits of friends and colleagues, moreover, Avery invests the clowns with personality and humor, recording the details of their oversized costumes and exaggerated grins." (K.V. Jameson, in A.D. Carlozzi, K. Baum, eds., Blanton Museum of Art: American Art Since 1900, Austin, Texas, 2006, p. 36)
